“There is still so much to do in the life space. Rural India is still under-penetrated in life insurance,” T R Ramachandran, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Aviva Life Insurance said on the sidelines of launch of retail format of sale of insurance products in rural India along with Basix and Royal Sundaram Alliance General Insurance (RSA).
